Core Capabilities

1. Single-Node Neural Training

Train neural networks with custom architectures and configurations.

Available Architectures:

• feedforward - Standard fully-connected networks
• lstm - Long Short-Term Memory for sequences
• gan - Generative Adversarial Networks
• autoencoder - Dimensionality reduction
• transformer - Attention-based models

Training Tiers:

• nano - Minimal resources (fast, limited)
• mini - Small models
• small - Standard models
• medium - Complex models
• large - Large-scale training

Best Practices

1. Start Small: Begin with nano or mini tiers for experimentation
2. Use Templates: Leverage marketplace templates for common tasks
3. Monitor Training: Check status regularly to catch issues early
4. Benchmark Models: Always benchmark before production deployment
5. Distributed Training: Use clusters for large models (>1B parameters)
6. Federated Learning: Use for privacy-sensitive data
7. Version Models: Publish successful models as templates for reuse
8. Validate Thoroughly: Use validation workflows before deployment

Troubleshooting

Training Stalled

// Check cluster status
const status = await mcp__flow-nexus__neural_cluster_status({
  cluster_id: "cluster_id"
})

// Terminate and restart if needed
await mcp__flow-nexus__neural_cluster_terminate({
  cluster_id: "cluster_id"
})

Low Accuracy

• Increase epochs
• Adjust learning rate
• Add regularization (dropout)
• Try different optimizer
• Use data augmentation

Out of Memory

• Reduce batch size
• Use smaller model tier
• Enable gradient accumulation
• Use distributed training
